Teddy bears have been popular as Christmas gifts for many years. Since their creation in 1902, teddy bears have captured the hearts of children across the world. Nothing feels quite as special as unwrapping a brand-new friend on Christmas morning.
We have a great range of personalised teddy bears, you can choose their clothes, the ribbons, the embroidered message and a range of other options to make your bear a truly unique gift under the Christmas tree.
Here are a few reasons why you should give a teddy bear for Christmas this year:
They’re Comforting
Soft toys are the best for comfort – nothing soothes a small child at night like the presence of their favourite teddy. If they wake in the night, they can reach for their soft toy, hopefully saving you (or the parents of the child you’re buying for!) some broken nights sleep. Well, it’s worth a try, anyway.
They Encourage Imaginative Play
Children learn through play, and their brains develop rapidly in the first few years of life. A soft toy is a perfect play companion that can accompany a child whether they’re pretending to be chefs, cowboys, underwater sea divers, jungle explorers … the list is endless. Plus, teddy bears can encourage communication. Just watch a toddler chat to their favourite bear – it’s lovely to watch. We don’t just sell Teddy Bears, we also have a range of other animal characters too!
They’re Meaningful
A well-chosen bear can last a lifetime – I’m sure you know at least one adult with a teddy bear still hanging around the house from their childhood. Children give teddy bears names and personalities, and they can come to have great significance to them. It’s a lovely way to show a child that you care and to help them create memories that last forever.
There’s a Bear for Every Budget
Teddy bears range from a few pounds right through to hundreds – so you should be able to find a bear that suits your budget. Although there are some beautiful bears for a bigger budget, there are some adorable choices for a lower price, too.
They Suit Every Child
There is a teddy out there for every child, no matter their age or interests. With a huge selection to choose from, you can find the perfect toy for each child, no matter how unusual!
They’re Soft and Cuddly
Children love sensory experiences, and love to play with toys that feel interesting to touch. Soft toys are perfect for playing with and cuddling, and they make the best companions for small children.
Teddies also make ideal gifts for babies or toddlers who like to throw things – your child won’t come to any harm if they accidentally throw a teddy bear up into the air. Plus, they’re not made from harmful materials, and with a bit of TLC, they can last a lifetime.
They Can Kick Start a Collection!
Just one bear may not be enough. How many children do you know with a bed full of teddy bears? Most children love to collect things, and a teddy bear collection is a classic. A new bear might just kick-start a brand new interest for a child – which means you may have an easier time picking gifts for their future birthdays and Christmases!
